This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

 Especially if we buy into Daniel Petersen's ideas regarding
Wolfe's libertarianism, humans who prey upon other humans are to be
considered parasites.


Forgive me for being pedantic and patronising, but I just want to make sure
everyone understands I was talking about the concept of libertarian
freewill in analytic philosophy.  I was not at all referencing the
political position known as Libertarian (as distinct from Republican,
Democrat, etc.).  Wolfe happens to be self-professedly the latter, but
that's not immediately relevant to a philosophical discussion about
freewill vs. determinism.  (Is it?)
